  • @no1superbaby uh... its standard...

    :)

  • Who in his or her right mind could ever even consider disliking this? This is one of the greatest things I have ever heard. I love when someone is better live than on any album. He is musical perfection. The end of this song is absolutely brilliant.

  • i was diverted here, not the same with out Marketa, tho , notice very strong Cat Stevens tone in Glens voice? i do

  • ceciley's mixed tape brought me here :)

  • I love this so much.

  • He's one of the very few people who would be allowed to scream at me as much as he wants.

    Glen, can I marry you and you sind all day for me?

  • Glen has a gift for bringing anyone listening into the moment. Great voice and he can strum the hell out of that poor guitar. Thanks for sharing!

  • The strain that must put on his voice! So lucky to see that live!

  • wow man it hasn't been long since i knew him and here i am..i can't stop listening to him..listening to his songs..he's real great, really really good i love him, i like him very very much..his music..his way of singing..i just can't stop listening to him!

  • I am so attracted to his voice...I don't really know why :P

  • Saw Glen open for Eddie Vedder last night, he Absolutely blew me away. He did this song, it had me in tears, full blown tears. I felt his pain, I lived it with him through that song... absolutely astonishing performer. This is someone that everyone HAS to hear, you owe it to yourself. Not to mention how it could help Glen in his much deserved success. I know that Eddie's help will help send him into the stratosphere as well. Check out the band "the swell season" also, his other venture. Enjoy

  • audience did a good job just listening :)

  • Can I have him?? :)

  • Glen is my go to songwriter when I'm in relationships that aren't working out. If they won't let you go,then make them hate you. Works out a charm.

  • @AnnaBaaanana Or have the balls just to walk away and not be a bitch

  • When he screams... oh, amazing.

  • this has got me through a shitty break up and a half. cliched but comforting haha

  • Glen Hansard and Dave Grohl need to start a band right freakin now.

  • So freaking amazing!

  • Phil von Ytitty hat mich hier her gebracht :) Tolles Lied :)

  • @MissGermanii09 wieso, hat er den Song mal erwähnt?

  • BBQ....just love it!

  • Is it wrong that I kind of want to make him mad at me so he'll scream at me like that?

  • did he punch a hole in his guitar?

  • @jeshfred91 Nope, it just wore away with years of playing because there's no scratchboard

  • How can 4 people dislike this...i dont understand

  • @darkerentropy well, they probably have a different taste in music than You and I, what`s there to understand? (or maybe they don`t like guitars with extra holes ?;)

  • dude...i was totally at this concert!! i almost cried hearing him sing this!

  • This guy should not be playing at a BBQ.. but then again I'm kinda glad he still is.

  • @TheBsk5150 Stubb's BBQ is not just a BBQ, it's a venue where many musicians and other artists/entertainers would perform. However, when nobody is performing there, it's just the restaurant, Stubb's BBQ.

  • @jhuffman21 nah man, the guitars so old hes played thro the thing... i was at a gig he did in a record shop and he told us all why it was like that!

  • Holy Crap, I got chills.

  • Please, never leave us Glen

  • @masienna so much vulnerability is potrayed in his voice.

  • i saw him do this live in a record shop in derry, was amazin, the girl next to me was cryin

  • WOW just amazing. you can feel that his music comes from the heart.

  • Glen makes my skin tingle...he is THE MAN!

  • goosebumps .... 

  • Glen, you are a master of music. A genius of performance. An all-star of emotion. I hope to meet you one day.

  • just lov this song. reminds me evry time why i lov music. that bloke gives shivers and goose bump every time he starts screaming. even tho i always kno its gonna come.

    Those who like it should definitely see the movie "once"

  • The 4 people who disliked this obviously have no souls

  • brilliant!

  • his voice come from the soul too deep

  • i never heard a better song

  • I'm confident that in 30 years I'll still be amazed at how incredible this song is.

  • this is one of my favorite songs

  • great, sooo great

  • Honest.

  • ke merda

  • @cooboxlinux Perche' non guardi video che ti piacciono allora?

    Lascia stare Glen Hansard e torna ad ascoltare house techno ecc

  • he is awesome, love his movie

  • AMAZIN

  • I just Love our Glen

  • i wonder what happened to his guitar?

  • @hawkd68 it has a very soft spruce top that was worn through after many years of hard playing

  • @hawkd68 I'm pretty sure I saw his guitar in a guitarist's magazine with his story on it at Barnes & Noble within the past month or so.

    I'd go check there or google if you're truly interested.

  • This is a performer of the highest tradition!

  • I LOVE IT WHEN HE SCREAMS HIS LUNGS OUT, for some reason.

  • blows me away every time I hear this song. Glen is just...indescribable.

  • beau song with beau guitar

  • great video - great song - great artist

  • he was worth it huh, i saw him last night

  • i'm interested-- is there anyone who has watched this and didn't think it was something special? what a rare song/performance/artist... very grateful glen got introduced to the world after so long... so great. sigh.

  • Exactly what I was thinking. Can't believe that he can give 100% every song he performes. If it were me, I would be exhausted after three or four songs but he just keeps going on WITH quality.

    Very rare.

  • Everytime i hear it i feel so full!

  • This song is incredible. The performance is incredible. Ahhhhhh It's almost overwhelming how wonderful it is.

  • he can scream, and make it sound good. Very rare talent.

  • like jeff buckley

  • @butchacj this guy's a genius/talented guy in many ways.

  • @butchacj He's also one of the few people who can actually sound better live than on the album.

  • @butchacj It's called belting. Not very rare, just takes practice and lack of speech in the days prior to your performance.

  • Thats really great .. thanks for posting this video!!

  • There's something I don't understand about Glen Hansard. He gives 100% every song, every show and his voice remains sweet, his passion as fresh as when he was twenty. How is this possible? Is he human? Or angel?

  • he is an angel :)

  • Glen Hansard is the BEST. Glen please come to Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest or Prague

  • asi před 14 dny hrál i s Markétou v Brně a v Praze :)

  • thank you.. for the unbeliveble concert in zurich...

  • i love this song.

  • Wow..that is a monster hole worn in his guitar. But he is just amazing.

  • wow! that was strong!

  • goosebumps!!

  • me too hahah

  • you know ... reading your description, you said " I have seen a lot of shows in my time but I have to say this was the best musical experience I have ever had." This is the EXACT same thing I said when I first saw him w/The Swell Season at the Paramount in 08. The guy is a musical genius.

  • I must say, hearing him and Marketa play their wonderful music really changed me. Thanks to them i have come to apreciate music a lot more and now play guitar far more seriously and with more passion than I have ever put in almost anything in my life. Before watching Once, I barely played and barely listen to much music, now I play pretty much daily as much as possible non stop and listen to more music than ever. I hope to at least only have part of the talent he has.

  • i just got goosebumps

  • Nice one !!! AWESOME !!

  • i think i'm in love

  • @Janzah I think if I was female, I would be too.

  • @Janzah me too, ich auch, yo también.

  • Saw them tonight in Austin.......AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! Glenn is truly otherwordly. :-)

  • His music along with Marketa Irglova has literally changed my life.

  • one of the best performers i've ever witnessed.

  • Speechless

  • you gonna go to the show in dallas at palladium ballroom on 11/14? i am!!

    =]

  • Comment removed

  • I was at this show!! It was absolutely AMAZING! I can't wait for their next album!

  • just emotion. unreal

  • He played this song at the Greek Theater without at a mike on purpose. He put that much volume and emotion into it that he didn't need one.

  • i was their.. it was awesome...

  • @zacdbostick there ;)

  • he's had that guitar since he was like 15.

    legandary enought but the feeling and emotion this man puts into his music can only be rivalled my damien rice. to irishmen. makes me so so pround to say im from the same place. and that i aspire to achieve even a fraction of what they have

  • this song was, to my knowledge, co-written with damien rice.

  • Really? Got any sources? I only ask because I've never come across that, and that's be really interesting if true. Beautiful song!

  • really? i dont think they've worked together in that way tho. i duno about that i've never heard about that. but if thats true that'd be pretty awsome!

  • wow. it sounds almost exactly like the album... but there's enough of a difference to tell he isn't faking... 5 STARS!!!

  • raw emotion, fucking eh.

  • I thought the movie was incredible and anxiously await the swell season's new album next month. I think its the same release date as paramore.

  • Every once in a while I hear a song which makes me think "who would be stupid enough to try and cover this?". Glen is just incredible, what a talent.

    Phenomenal performance.

  • I don't think I've ever related to a song before... but leave sounds like he's singing advice to me haha.

  • Comment removed

  • doesnt he just have so much in common with mr Rice? so raw

  • Damien Rice. I guess it's the Irish school

  • That's just outright blasphemy! Glen's been releasing albums since '89, damien rice haas never had any input apart from coming out on stage in Marlay park to do his own song in 2003 with the frames...

  • sorry to dissapoint you man but glen said it himself in a radio 1 interview bout a year back. if its any concellation i prefer glen to damien. although they are both superb

  • YES!!!! I knew i wasnt crazy!!

  • a fecking genius

  • amen to that

  • I want to see him play live so bad!

  • Damn..So much emotion being put in this song...

  • you did a great job recording this! good audio level :)

  • Jebus this guy has like four holes in is guitar...

    he is pretty good so I will give him that!

  • pretty good, eh? kind of an understatement dont ya think...

  • awh man.. i cant help but cry.. he just makes me so insanely proud to be a dubliner.. I always say it, but this man is a GOD.

  • Goose bumps!!! Would happily turn gay for this guy. Noone seems to know about 'once' in oz (i just got back from nepal, where i saw it). Anyone know when or if he's coming to australia

  • he already has a few months ago. i went adn saw him, it was amazing, best concert i've ever seen!

  • Has anybody heard any more about his new stuff with Barry McCann ( your man who sings that song Memory Box)

  • This is great quality for a home movie at a concert!

  • wow. absolutely beautiful.

  • i loved the movie. it wasnt like most musicals where they suddenly break out in song. it was actuelly somewhat realistic. he is a beautiful singer. luv it.

  • damn....this dude sings from the heart...straight out! the movie was great. Perfect title...you only meet someone that connects with you ONCE. They didn't even kiss or anything that would have put them in a predictable spot. Just a beautiful movie.

  • Glen is the perfect human....

  • great what a performance thanks for posting it

  • love it!!!!

  • my favorite song from Once! he is awesome

  • It's not in Once - its on their album.

  • ok-- i guess it's just on the movie soundtrack-- which i listen to alot :-)

  • Yep, it is a really beautiful beautiful album. One for the heartbroken I guess :*(

  • it actually does feature a few senonds of the last section of leave in the film when he's playing her his songs on tape in his room but thats the only time you hear it

  • correction: when he is in applying for a loan to make his album, it plays the very end of "leave" on his little hand held recorder to the loan guy, right before he jumps up and starts playing his own song.

    the scene you're thinking of, it plays "lies"

  • Incredible. Why did it take me this long to find Glen?!? He's amazing!

  • There is no one like Glen Hansard.

  • Yet another angry Texan who would have driven cross country to see this guy.....

  • Like other people have said, it's a shame I did not know of him until the film 'Once'. He is amazing and I will not rest until I get to see him play live someplace!

  • im left speechless every time i hear him sing.

  • amazing

  • so interesting what musician think on stage, he sings such an incredibly passionate song, at the same thinks "oops my E strings abit out of tune i'll just give it a tweak whilst i play" glen you are a legend! come to New Zealand one day soon!

  • fantastic!!!! Nayma

  • that Man has the best singing voice...ever. and the way he's playing is amazing.
